We're receiving a lot of users' suggestions for the German dictionary that include a hyphen, such as 'SNOWBOARD-WM'.AFAIK, most spell checkers treat the hyphen as a word separator. Is there a reason why we are not doing it that way? Treating the hyphen as part of the word certainly has some advantages, but the downside is a huge number of false positives. Any ideas?

Only the first one yields an unexpected result, namely a spelling error. So apparently the gist is that the spell checker can't handle hyphenated compounds written as all-caps. Do you think this is worth opening an issue?

Thank you, that is a very good suggestion. There are a lot of characters that are visually indistinguishable from the normal hyphen. But in this case I made sure that that is not the problem at hand by typing it out manually.

I was wondering about something similar.
Would it be possible to ignore ‘words’ that start with ellipsis+hyphen?

EG:
Turning on the TV she heard the 8 O’clock News news-anchor say “…-ven-Four-Seven has crashed at Charles du Gaulle. While the emergency services have already responded, there is little they can do unt-…” before she tuned in on her intended channel.
